20 Game Of Thrones Characters And Their WWE Soulmates
4. Rusev (Theon Greyjoy)
This isn't the most immediate comparison because, well, Rusev is a huge monster of a man and Theon Greyjoy just isn't. However, what binds them is their current poor streak of luck: each is the "Bad Luck Brian" of their respective enterprise. After all, Theon has pretty much suffered indignity after indignity over the last few seasons, being tortured, castrated and psychologically abused to the point that his originally personality barely exists anymore, with merely the husk that is "Reek" remaining. How does Rusev compare? He's proven himself to be strong-willed and one of the WWE's toughest stars, but he's had his fair share of terrible misfortune over the last 3 months in particular. Though the Bulgarian Brute defeated John Cena at February's Fastlane pay-per-view, he's since lost to Cena on three consecutive pay-per-view events, WrestleMania, Extreme Rules and Payback. Given that the WWE should be building Rusev up rather than tearing him down, especially when he's facing such an established talent, it's pretty humiliating stuff, and "reeks" of incompetent booking. Just as Theon has been buried by Ramsay Bolton, Rusev has been buried by the Golden Shovel that John Cena wields. Tragic and nonsensical booking at its worst.
